But very few non phd therapists practice evidence based medicine

  Most therapists I’ve spoken to aren’t PhDs and the one we do work with isn’t noticeably better for outcomes.

  lol you have that backwards. The LCSWs tend to be evidence based, the PhDs are busy working on their book promulgating their theories.

    Lcsw are more like someone you go talk to when you are having a bad day not so much when you need to manage chronic pain, anxiety or ptsd. Insurance understandably does not want to reimburse much for that.

  And yet you produced zero evidence. The irony is off the charts.

  >But very few non phd therapists practice evidence based medicine That's a good point, although people don't seem happy to acknowledge it. In my metro area, the biggest providers of mental health services are aligned with religious organizations or outright promote themselves as offering religious based therapy. It's frustratingly hard to get evidence based treatment free from religious influence.
